   Glynis Davis:
   I first piled on the pounds when I was pregnant and I couldn’t lose them afterwards. Then I joined a slimming club. My target was 10 stone and I lost 2 stone 2lbs in six months. I felt great and people kept saying how good I looked. But Christmas came and I started to slip back into my old eating habits. I told myself I’d lose the weight at slimming classes in the new year...but it didn’t happen. Instead of losing the pounds, I put them on. I’d lost the willpower and tried to convince myself that the odd bag of crisps didn’t make any difference-but the scales don’t lie.
   Roz Juma:
   To be honest, I never weigh myself any more-I’ve learned to be happy with myself. It seemed ridiculous to feel guilty about every morsel that passed my lips. My philosophy is simple: You shouldn’t be preoccupied with food and dieting. Instead, you should get on with life and stop dreaming about a super-thin body. This is obviously the size I’m meant to be and, most of all ,Pm happy with it.
   Lesley Godwin:
   I was very happy after winning Young Slimmer of the Year. I’d look in the mirror unable to believe this slim creature was me. That might have been my problem-perhaps I didn’t relate to my reflection any more. Winning a national competition makes everything worse, though, because you feel the eyes of the world are on you. I feel a failure because I’ve put on weight again... I find it humiliating and embarrassing.
   Ros Langford:
   Before moving in with my husband Gavin, I’d always been about 8 stone, but domestic bliss went straight to my waist and I put on 2 stone in a year. Every so often I try to go on a diet...I’m really good for a few days, then end up eating the children’s leftovers or gorging on chocolate-my weakness. I’d like to be slim, but right now my priorities are the children and home. I may be more motivated when the kids are older.
   Julia Minifie:
   I’m a compulsive eater. I can’t control my urges and I really love cakes. When I’m slim I feel like a million dollars-and when I’m not I get very depressed. Over the years I’d tried and failed with just about every diet. I was determined I’d never put the weight back on, but at some stage along the line I lost my resolution, and it started to creep on again Certainly I will face the same problem in the future.
   Now match each of the women ( 1 to 5 ) to the appropriate statement.
   Note: there are two extra statements.
                      Statements
   [A] I put on weight after I got married.
   [B] The heavier, the merrier.
   [C] Facts speak louder than words.
   [D] I like myself as I am.
   [E] I’m constantly at war with my weight.
   [F] Fame doesn’t necessarily mean success.
   [G] I think I’ll be slim again.
